自旋-轨道耦合玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体激发谱及其有效调控

利用Bogoliubov理论研究了自由空间中可调自旋-轨道耦合玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体(Bose-Einstein condensates, BECs)的激发谱.通过高频近似得到具有两体相互作用时与时间无关的有效Floquet哈密顿量,从而获得一种可调的自旋-轨道耦合和一种可由周期驱动拉曼耦合调控的有效两体相互作用.基于系统有效的Floquet哈密顿量,得到凝聚体具有相互作用时的色散关系,发现周期驱动强度可以有效地调控色散关系的结构,即周期驱动的拉曼耦合可以调控系统在零动量相与平面波相之间的相变.进一步利用Bogoliubov理论得到系统的Bogoliubov-de-Gennes (BdG)方程,分别研究了凝聚体在零动量相和平面波相中的激发谱.发现零动量相中的激发谱均为声子激发,且激发谱随周期驱动强度的增加表现出贝塞尔函数的行为;平面波相中的激发谱存在声子激发和旋子激发,当周期驱动强度增加时,旋子模出现软化现象.因此,可以通过周期驱动拉曼耦合实时地调控自旋-轨道耦合BECs激发谱中的声子激发和旋子激发.

Dynamics of bright soliton in a spin–orbit coupled spin-1 Bose–Einstein condensate

We have investigated the dynamics of bright solitons in a spin–orbit coupled spin-1 Bose–Einstein condensate analytically and numerically. By using the hyperbolic sine function as the trial function to describe a plane wave bright soliton with a single finite momentum, we have derived the motion equations of soliton's spin and center of mass, and obtained its exact analytical solutions. Our results show that the spin–orbit coupling couples the soliton's spin with its center-of-mass motion, the spin oscillations induced by the exchange of atoms between components result in the periodical oscillation of center-of-mass, and the motion of center of mass of soliton can be viewed as a superposition of periodical and linear motions. Our analytical results have also been confirmed by the direct numerical simulations of Gross–Pitaevskii equations.     

Merging and splitting dynamics between two bright solitons in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates

We numerically study the interaction dynamics of two bright solitons with zero initial velocities in the one-dimensional dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates. Under different dipolar strengths, the two bright solitons can merge into a breathing wave, and then split or propagate constantly after several oscillating periods. We quantitatively study the breathing frequency of wave after merging and the asymmetry property of solitons after splitting, and analyze their formation mechanism by the system's energy evolution. Also, the change of initial phase difference brings distinct effects on the soliton interaction. Our results provide insight into the new dynamical phenomena in dipolar systems and enrich the understanding for interaction between dipolar solitons.     

Collision of bright vector solitons in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

We investigate the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing the dynamics of two hyperfine states of Bose-Einstein condensates and deduce the integrability condition for the propagation of bright vector solitons. We show how the transient trap and scattering length can be suitably tailored to bring about fascinating collisional dynamics of vector solitons.     

Weakly interacting spinor Bose–Einstein condensates with three-dimensional spin–orbit coupling

Starting from the Hamiltonian of the second quantization form, the weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate with spin-orbit coupling of Weyl type is investigated. It is found that the SU(2) nonsymmetric term, i.e., the spin-dependent interaction, can lift the degeneracy of the ground states with respect to the z component of the total angular momentum J_z, casting the ground condensate state into a configuration of zero J_z. This ground state density profile can also be affirmed by minimizing the full Gross-Pitaevskii energy functional. The spin texture of the zero J_z state indicates that it is a knot structure, whose fundamental group is π₃(M)？？？040305？？？？π₃(S²)=Z.     

Tunable ground-state solitons in spin–orbit coupling Bose–Einstein condensates in the presence of optical lattices

Properties of the ground-state solitons, which exist in the spin–orbit coupling(SOC) Bose–Einstein condensates(BEC) in the presence of optical lattices, are presented. Results show that several system parameters, such as SOC strength,lattice depth, and lattice frequency, have important influences on properties of ground state solitons in SOC BEC. By controlling these parameters, structure and spin polarization of the ground-state solitons can be effectively tuned, so manipulation of atoms may be realized.     

Dynamic stability and manipulation of bright matter-wave solitons by optical lattices in Bose-Einstein condensates

An extended variation approach to describing the dynamic evolution of self-attractive Bose-Einstein condensates is developed. We consider bright matter-wave solitons in the presence of a parabolic magnetic potential and a time-space periodic optical lattice. The dynamics of condensates is shown to be well approximated by four coupled nonlinear differential equations. A noteworthy feature is that the extended variation approach gives a critical strength ratio to support multiple stable lattice sites for the condensate. We further examine the existence of the solitons and their stabilities at the multiple stable lattice sites. In this case, the analytical predictions of Bose-Einstein condensates variational dynamics are found to be in good agreement with numerical simulations. We then find a stable region for successful manipulating matter-wave solitons without collapse, which are dragged from an initial stationary to a prescribed position by a moving periodic optical lattice.     

Three-dimensional solitons in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

We investigate a kind of solitons in the two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with axisymmetric configurations in the R2 × S1 space. The corresponding topological structure is referred to as Hopfion. The spin texture differs from the conventional three-dimensional （3D） skyrmion and knot, which is characterized by two homotopy invariants. The stability of the Hopfion is verified numerically by evolving the Gross-Pitaevskii equations in imaginary time.     

Density structures and giant vortex in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates with the harmonic-plus-radial potential

We study the ground-state properties of two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) loaded in the harmonic-plus-radial potential. In the immiscible regime, odd-petal-number states can be found. By increasing the effective atom interactions, the odd-petal-number states transform into a phase where petals in the outer annular potential trough are coexisting with inner longitudinal stripes, and finally become the ‘serpentine’ stripe structures. In a rotating system, the giant vortex (GV) can be stabilized and controllable. The favorable conditions for GV are relatively small atom interactions, intermediate rotation frequency and intermediate SOC strength. Further, this type of harmonic-plus-radial trapping with a strong radial part is a suitable choice to create GV state.
